Monster Mash - Bobby Pickett and the Cryptkickers

I used this song to introduce the idea of mythical creatures with a higher level teen group. Also a lot of examples of past simple and past continnuous for lower levels. (And the vid is good!)

Monster Mash – Bobby Picket and the Crypt-kickers



I was working in the lab, late one night
For my monster from his slab, began to rise
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
And suddenly to my surprise

He did the mash, he did the monster mash
The monster mash, it was a graveyard smash
He did the mash, it caught on in a flash
He did the mash, he did the monster mash

The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
To get a jolt from my electrodes
To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
From my laboratory in the castle east

They did the mash , they did the monster mash
The monster mash, it was a graveyard smash
They did the mash , it caught on in a flash
They did the mash , they did the monster mash

The zombies were having fun
The party had just begun
The guests included Wolfman
Dracula and his son

With their vocal group, 'The Crypt-Kicker Five'
The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds
Igor on chains, backed by his baying hounds

They played the mash, they played the monster mash
The monster mash, it was a graveyard smash
They played the mash, it caught on in a flash
They played the mash, they played the monster mash

"Whatever happened to my Transylvania Twist?
Out from the coffin', Drac's voice did ring
Seems he was troubled by just one thing
Opened the lid and shook his fist and said

Then you can mash, then you can monster mash
The monster mash and do my graveyard smash
Then you can mash, you'll catch on in a flash
Then you can mash, then you can monster mash

 
It's now the mash, it's now the monster mash
The monster mash, and it’s a graveyard smash
It's now the mash, it caught on in a flash
It's now the mash, it's now the monster mash

 
Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
For you, the living this mash was meant too
When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you
And my Monster Mash is the hit of the land
